Suppliers are WEAK if...
• The product is standardized.

A basic good used in commerce that is interchangeable with other commodities of the same type. Commodities are most often used as inputs in the production of other goods or services. The quality of a given commodity may differ slightly, but it is essentially uniform across producers.
Commodity Good?

32The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
Is translation a commodity good?
33The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
No it bloody isn’t.But some of us sell it on price, so it feels like price is the only differentitor (a bit like a commodity).

Of all the 7 Ps Price has the single most immediate effect on
the bottom line. (put this on twitter its profound)
39The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
“the single most
important decision in
evaluating a business
is pricing power”
“if you’ve got the
power to raise prices
without losing business
to a competitor, you’ve
got a good business.
And if you have a
prayer session before
raising the price by
10% you have a
terrible business”
- Warren Buffet/MIT 2011

Built in the quality of the product to the pricing model. Extracting the right about of $$$ in relation

“… a unique mix of attributes that companies provide through their products, interactions, ethos and pricing to create loyalty and satisfaction in targeted customer segments.
It is the unique set of benefits a business offers its target customers.”
- P Kotler
Value Proposition
49The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
IMPACTThe value that you can/could deliver to the customer’s business.
IMPACT and COST must balance!
CAPABILITYThe things that you can/could add value to the customer’s business.
COSTThe overall price position that the customer will have to pay to use the value proposition.
Value Proposition
50The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
Add Value…
Think how the impact, capability and cost change as you increase the complexity of your product/service to have a larger impact on your customer. Increasing (and demonstrating) value as you go.
… and extract some of it

Larry Greiner, “Evolution and revolution as organizations grow”. June 1972 HBR
61The Business Side. TTT Conference, Bled. @RichardMBrooks
Phase 1: Growth Through CreativityHere, the entrepreneurs who founded the firm are busy creating products and opening up markets. There aren’t many staff, so informal communication works fine, and rewards for long hours are probably through profit share or stock options. However, as more staff join, production expands and capital is injected, there’s a need for more formal communication. This phase ends with a Leadership Crisis, where professional management is needed. The founders may change their style and take on this role, but often someone new will be brought in.
Phase 2: Growth Through DirectionGrowth continues in an environment of more formal communications, budgets and focus on separate activities like marketing and production. Incentive schemes replace stock as a financial reward. However, there comes a point when the products and processes become so numerous that there are not enough hours in the day for one person to manage them all, and he or she can’t possibly know as much about all these products or services as those lower down the hierarchy.This phase ends with an Autonomy Crisis: New structures based on delegation are called for.
Phase 3: Growth Through DelegationWith mid-level managers freed up to react fast to opportunities for new products or in new markets, the organization continues to grow, with top management just monitoring and dealing with the big issues (perhaps starting to look at merger or acquisition opportunities). Many businesses flounder at this stage, as the manager whose directive approach solved the problems at the end of Phase 1 finds it hard to let go, yet the mid-level managers struggle with their new roles as leaders. This phase ends with a Control Crisis: A much more sophisticated head office function is required, and the separate parts of the business need to work together.
Phase 4: Growth Through Coordination and MonitoringGrowth continues with the previously isolated business units re-organized into product groups or service practices. Investment finance is allocated centrally and managed according to Return on Investment (ROI) and not just profits. Incentives are shared through company-wide profit share schemes aligned to corporate goals. Eventually, though, work becomes submerged under increasing amounts of bureaucracy, and growth may become stifled. This phase ends on a Red-Tape Crisis: A new culture and structure must be introduced.
Phase 5: Growth Through CollaborationThe formal controls of phases 2-4 are replaced by professional good sense as staff group and re-group flexibly in teams to deliver projects in a matrix structure supported by sophisticated information systems and team-based financial rewards.This phase ends with a crisis of Internal Growth: Further growth can only come by developing partnerships with complementary organizations.

• ‘Open self/area‘, 'free area‘, 'public area', 'arena‘
• Also known as the 'area of free activity‘• Information about the person - behaviour,
attitude, feelings, emotion, knowledge, experience, skills, views, etc -
• Known by the person ('self') and known by the team ('others').
• The aim in any team is to develop the 'open area' for every person, because when we work in this area with others we are at our most effective and productive, and the team is at its most productive too
• The open free area, or 'the arena‘ - the space where good communications and cooperation occur, free from distractions, mistrust, confusion, conflict and misunderstanding

2Blind Area
• ‘Blind self' or 'blind area' or 'blindspot‘: what is known about a person by others in the group, but is unknown by the person him/herself
• Could also be referred to as ignorance about oneself, or issues in which one is deluded
• Not an effective or productive space for individuals or groups
• Also include issues that others are deliberately withholding from a person
• The aim is to reduce this area by seeking or soliciting feedback from others and thereby to increase the open area, i.e., to increase self-awareness
• Team members and managers take responsibility for reducing the blind area - in turn increasing the open area - by giving sensitive feedback and encouraging disclosure
• Managers promote a climate of non-judgemental feedback, and group response to individual disclosure, and reduce fear.

• ‘Hidden self' or 'hidden area' or 'avoided self/area' or 'facade'
• What is known to ourselves but kept hidden from, and therefore unknown, to others
• Represents information, feelings , etc, anything that a person knows about him/self, but which is not revealed or is kept hidden from others
• Also include sensitivities, fears, hidden agendas, manipulative intentions, secrets - anything that a person knows but does not reveal
• Relevant hidden information and feelings, etc, should be moved into the open area through the process of 'self-disclosure' and 'exposure process'
• Organizational culture and working atmosphere have a major influence on team members‘ preparedness to disclose their hidden selves
• The extent to which an individual discloses personal feelings and information, and the issues which are disclosed, and to whom, must always be at the individual's own discretion

2Blind Area
• ‘Unknown self‘, 'area of unknown activity‘, 'unknown area'
• Information, feelings, latent abilities, aptitudes, experiences etc, that are unknown to the person him/herself and unknown to others in the group
• Can be prompted through self-discovery or observation by others, or through collective or mutual discovery
• Again as with disclosure and soliciting feedback, the process of self discovery is a sensitive one
• Uncovering 'hidden talents' - that is unknown aptitudes and skills, not to be confused with developing the Johari 'hidden area' - is another aspect of developing the unknown area, and is not so sensitive as unknown feelings
• Managers and leaders can create an environment that encourages self-discovery, and to promote the processes of self discovery, constructive observation and feedback among team members
• The unknown area could also include repressed or subconscious feelings rooted in formative events and traumatic past experiences, which can stay unknown for a lifetime
